I seem to recall I had the same problem moving my lircd.conf from Fedora 8
to Fedora 14.

Yup, try:
irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/by-path/pci-[...]-event-ir $HOME/lircd.conf
to generate a new lircd.conf in $HOME
you'll need to substitute your PCI device number for the ellipsis.
You might also need to prevent haldaemon from grabbing the device from under
lircd's feet:
# pwd
/usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty
# cat 10-ignore-cx88-ir.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains_ncase="cx88 ir">
<merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
# cat 10-ignore-dvbusb-ir.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains_ncase="IR-receiver">
<merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
See <http://www.lirc.org/html/devinput.html> for more info on this, if you
need to adjust the rules for your hardware.

lirc-0.8.7-1.fc14.x86_64 and kernel-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 here.
